Big 12 is weaker this year. Tech isn't that good and Oklahoma State has had much better years. Pac-12 matchup is better but neither team is as imposing as they were to start last year.

I absolutely hate to say this, because I know people in that particular part of the country are chest thumping while saying it, but SEC West is where it's at and every other conference/division is the mehest of the meh.
